Hub You - How to Use Mail Merge in Outlook to Send Personalized Publisher Newsletters to a Distribution List
You can generally divide people into two differing groups: those who use lists for action, and those who use lists as reminders of all the things they have to do someday.The people in the first category will want to use their list avidly, and will even write things on the list they have done, just so they can cross them off.The people in the second category tend to just jump in ahead and do things, without giving much thought to priority. They like the
3. Click Forward on the email that you sent yourself and delete the lines of text that show the recipient that it is a forwarded email.

1. To introduce your company to a potential customerIf you are small company trying to establish yourself online or offline then the first thing that you introduce to potential customers is your company logo. The effect your logo has on your potential customers or your website visitors will influence their buying decisions.2. To create a good impact on the potential customer When meeting a prospective client, your business card would speak a lot ab
This is fine if you only want to send it to a few people, or if you don't have to worry about making everyone's email visible to everyone else in the group. But what if you send a business newsletter to clients? Or if you want to personalize each message (for example, putting each persons name in the salutation as opposed to a generic one)?
Previously, the only options that I saw were to send it to every person individually (can become extremely time consuming) or send it to the distribution list as a BCC (Blind Carbon Copy). BCC's are bad for two reasons - one, they tend to be automatically filtered out as spam, and two, they don't allow for personalization.
Most people will tell you that if you are in this situation it is time to upgrade to professional email software. I personally like doing my newsletter design in Publisher and would prefer to continue to use Publisher. I also like using Outlook distribution lists. I have a script that sends me the list of people that are signed up to my newsletter each month in a format that simply copies and pastes into a working Outlook distribution list.
So I came up with a work-around that I now use for my newsletter:
Step 1: Create your Newsletter in Publisher I use the term 'newsletter' but any Publisher file can be sent via email, so whatever your application you can put this strategy to work for you.
Step 2: Create your Distribution List in Microsoft Outlook If you aren't familiar with Distribution Lists, there is a tutorial at http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=417511&seqNum=3
Step 3: Send your Newsletter to Yourself In Publisher, go to (File -> Send Email -> Send This Page as Message) and email it to your email account in Microsoft Outlook.
Step 4: "Forward" the Newsletter to the Distribution List using a Mail Merge At this point, you have received your newsletter at your email account in Outlook and you no longer need Publisher. Essentially, the rest of the process is just forwarding your newsletter to your Distribution List using a Mail Merge, something you can't do when sending via Publisher. This consists of several steps:
1. Save your Distribution List in Rich Text Format by opening the List and choosing File -> Save As.
2. Open the list, delete any headings, and replace them with headings for the fields in your distribution list, separating each heading with a tab. For example, if your distribution list contains first name, last name, and email address, you would want to list those headings in the order they appear, separating them with a tab.
3. Click Forward on the email that you sent yourself and delete the lines of text that show the recipient that it is a forwarded email.
4. Click in the body of the message, and choose Tools -> Letters and Mailings -> Mail Merge.
5. Choose E-mail Messages and hit Next.
6. Choose Use the current document and hit Next.

The onset of modern technology has finally given way to document scanning. Images, text files, old documents and the likes are recovered, retrieved and archived --once deemed impossible. The days of yore proved to be very slow-paced. But document scanning has changed the way offices are run.By definition, document scanning is the process of transferring one document or text from its paper form onto a computer screen.

Test your assumptions about everything.Assumptions have a way of creeping into all parts of a problem-solving project. They’re often wrong, which can lead to a lot of wasted effort and even cause a problem-solving project to fail entirely. It’s very easy to take a strongly stated assertion as true, especially if it’s the boss who makes it. Remind everyone involved to be skeptical and on the watch for untested assumptions.Problem definition.Check the
